Now that I'm not alone

Star is here Monday through Thursday nights. Would it be wrong of me to take a sleeping pill or a gummy knowing she's here and could get up if one of the kids had a issue at night. I am really struggling here. I need sleep but I don't feel I should ask her to do this. It's not why she moved in here.

Maybe if you would offer to pay her a little more to be available to the kids at night?

@Poppies I thought about that. I just struggle with it. I feel I should be there for them all the time. Honestly I still struggle with her getting them ready for school. I'm thier dad, I should be able to handle this

@Cigarguy101 We all need help...do NOT feel badly.

@Cigarguy101 A person needs sleep! It's like the instruction on an airplane; make sure you have an oxygen mask on yourself first or you won't have the ability to help the people around you.

@Poppies I know I'm the guy that would put it on his kids first then check the people around me before I put mine on
